Highway to Heaven: Living or Dead?

About Highway to Heaven

Highway to Heaven was a heartwarming television show that aired from 1984 to 1989. Starring Michael Landon as Jonathan Smith, an angel sent to Earth to help people in need, the show tackled issues such as homelessness, addiction, and discrimination with a gentle touch. Landon's chemistry with co-star Victor French, who played ex-cop Mark Gordon, was a highlight of the series.

Despite its religious themes, Highway to Heaven was beloved by audiences of all faiths. The show's message of kindness and compassion resonated with viewers, and its feel-good stories left many in tears. Landon's own battle with cancer gave the show an added poignancy, as he continued to work on the series until his death in 1991.

Highway to Heaven may have been a product of its time, but its message of hope and love is timeless. As Landon once said, "I think the message of the show is that we're all here to help each other." And that's a message that still rings true today.
